Stohr Tourte Round Violin mute Purple

Description The Stohr Tourte Round Violin mute Purple, is a quality rubber mute, made in the USA. This is not to be confused with low quality copies made of soft inferior rubber which affects the dampening effect, and the purple colour adds a bit of fun! The Tourte mute is a popular mute which is widely used. The mute stays on the instrument when not in use and then easily slipped on to the bridge when required. When engaged, the mute sits across the D and A strings, muting the bridge. The rubber of the mute is secure to use on your violin and will not damage the instrument or the strings in any way. Some players prefer the Tourte waisted or violin-shape mute giving the reason that it is more secure when not in use. The Stohr Tourte Round mute is also available in 5 other colours as well as for Viola, Cello and for Double Bass.
